"Henry IV is the Shakespeare play that's perfectly suited to the Globe. In Dominic Dromgoole's intelligent, faithful and entertaining new production, Sir John Falstaff, that 'sweet creature of bombast', might have stopped for a pint of sack in Southwark en route for a rendezvous with Doll Tearsheet at the Boar's Head." (The Guardian)
"It is the first time these wonderful plays have been staged at the reconstructed globe and it may be one of this theatre’s finest achievements." (The Daily Telegraph)
"Roger Allam makes him [Falstaff] such a dangerously manipulative operator. Allam speaks the role as beautifully as any actor in memory ... It's the kind of performance that prospers in the Globe." (The Independent)
